Would a black middle class family be accepted in OC today? (Orange: live, law)

Of the approximately 1,700,000 interracial crimes of violence involving blacks and whites, 90 percent are committed by blacks against whites.

Blacks are therefore up to 250 times more likely to do criminal violence to whites than the reverse.

You have a right to your own opinion but not your own facts. I already refuted this garbage. This is my response to your post in another thread

Why lie about something that you posted a link to? Not to mention how curious it is that you failed to mention that 48.6% of all hate crimes are perpetrated by offenders with an anti-black bias.

Then in the same paragraph you quote some nonsense bout 90% of interracial crimes being committed by blacks, it's clear that you were trying to make people think that data was from the FBI, but it's actually a cut /paste from a 1999 publication put out by the "New Century Foundation" a racist organization Founded by Jared Taylor who in 2005 said:

“Blacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears.”

It seems that the last two 'tidbits' of information also came from the same source, the "New Century Foundation" No source for it in their magazine, just foul made up crap designed to stir up racial animus.

An exception or maybe he didn't post valid data?

On a side note, "Republicanism in OC" did not "end" in 2018. They still have a pretty solid edge in voter registration. Despite it being a banner year for Democrats across most of the country, the Democrats eeked out pretty narrow victories in the contested elections. Newsom defeated Cox in Orange County by only 0.2%. The future for the GOP in Orange County will be interesting to watch, but my money would be on them maintaining the upper hand for quite a while longer.

Uh, from the article:


89 more Democrats registered in the county



Not much of a majority in a County with over 3,000,000 people.


It seems more purple than blue or red.

I was responding to this

Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed or what?

Sounds like the words of a sore loser to me. Maybe it's because the Republican party in California hitched their wagon to Trump and while that might work for them in Alabama it's not such a good idea in California

Yeah there are overt racists in every community, especially red-leaning ones (though OC is now pretty solidly purple overall), but most likely any racist neighbors will just ignore you.

Don't forget about the overt racists, especially the blue-leaning ones, who believe white males are the root of all their problems.

Name calling, very mature.

Ds barely edged out Rs in OC, hardly a landslide.

But I never claimed it was a landslide it's always a good idea to respond to what the actual post was.
